Our translations: FRE
Amaste á Pedro, á Ignacio, á Marcelino, Á Casto, á Gil, á Pepe, á Diego, Á Antón después, á Restituto luego, Y á Lucas, y á Ginés, y á Guan y a Lino. Y amaste á Cleto, á Félix, á Faustino, E inextinguible tu amoroso fuego, Amaste á Blas el sordo, Á Luis el ciego, Y al Pancho aquel que de las Indias vino. Hoy, vieja, pobre y fea (¡Guarda, Pablo!), Te hace exhalar interminable queja, El insufrible solteril achaque. Más ¿quien te ha de querer? ¡Lléve te el diablo! Si además de ser fea, pobre y vieja, Tienes, en vez de un alma, Un almanaque.
